Beta Club

John Adams Beta Club raised over 700.00 dollars to support the Salvation Army’s Christmas Angel. Officers and Club Sponsor, Mrs. Williams, spent the afternoon on December 3 shopping for the middle school student’s wish list items. Home bases that raised the most money and will receive a party of their choice are 6th Grade: Mr. Patterson, 7th Grade: Mrs. Hall, and 8th Grade: Mrs. Williams.

THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN ORDER TO COLLECT THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS!

Students who have maintained a 3.76 for three consecutive semesters are eligible for induction into the National Junior Beta Club tentatively scheduled for March. A meeting was held for those students who believe that they are eligible.

Seventh and eighth grade students are encouraged to check the list on the office window to verify eligibility. If a child’s name does not appear, he or she must see Mrs. Williams in P127 immediately.

All prospective and current Beta Club members are required to participate in 30 community service hours, 15 of which must be dedicated to John Adams. The other 15 may occur within the school or the community. Please see Mrs. Williams for an hours sheet or click the link above.

Mrs. Williams can be reached at mfwilliams@mail.kana.k12.wv.us

7th Grade WVGSA

The West Virginia General Summative Assessment for 7th grade begins tomorrow, Tuesday, May 15th at 8:00 am. Please remind your 7th grade student to charge up his or her iPad. If your student has a pair of earbuds, they can use their own pair for the Summative Assessment. If not, we will have earbuds and keyboards for students.

We want to again remind our 7th grade students that having a good night’s sleep and eating breakfast at home or at school helps fuel their bodies and their brains. Arriving on time to school the days of testing, fosters less stress and allows students to perform their very best on the Summative Assessments.
